4) Register here for TOEFL now. The local tests dates become flooded in the fall and students who wait may need to travel far (often out of State) to take this required exam.
5) Begin collecting copies of your official high school transcript, your immunization records, bank statements, etc. If you are going home you can do this yourself rather than bothering your parents at the last minute!
